Berries are tasty and healthy. But some fruits can be added to the diet strictly in limited quantities.

Currants, gooseberries and raspberries contain a lot of antioxidants, vitamins and fiber. But there is one berry that is considered more harmful.

We are talking about watermelon.

This statement was made by nutritionist Maria Shestakova in a conversation with representatives of the publication “ Doctor Peter ”.

A doctor explained why you shouldn’t eat too much of this product.

She noted that watermelon has too much glucose and fructose. It is easy to overdo it with such a sweet berry, which means that the body will be more likely to get harm than benefit. As a result - problems with weight, metabolism, and so on. It is much better to use watermelon as a dessert.

The portion should be limited.

You can eat up to 150 grams of this berry per day.

The specialist emphasized that it is a mistake to rely on watermelon and think that this is how the body stores vitamins.
